Adolescents

For this life stage, my practice focuses on building a trusting and secure therapeutic alliance, where my clients feel comfortable expressing their concerns and feel empowered to work toward change.

Through a strength-based approach, we creatively explore your self-understanding, explore your qualities, and help nurture the aspects that motivate you and generate well-being, while working to better understand and manage the aspects that may be holding you back.

Our work could explore such themes as:

  • Self-esteem and Self-image

  • Coping skills and time management

  • Ambivalence and Lack of motivation

  • Anxiety

  • Friendships and Relationships

  • Exploration of Gender & Sexuality

  • Loneliness

  • Confusion about the future

  • The experience of feeling misunderstood

  • Feeling disenchanted with school and expectations placed on you

  • Stress and overall pressures of life

Together we collaborate to stay curious and open about how best to lead a fulfilling life that feels aligned with your values and hopes for the future.

Through compassionate inquiry, trust, and a deep care for our humanity, I offer a space that allows you to notice and feel your presence, and from that place of awareness, identify what’s needed to achieve your goals.
